A partnership of winning

The Skyward Specialty approach is to craft trucking liability and damage coverage to make insurance more affordable for our insureds, and easier for our distribution partners. Finding this balance is key, and it takes a partnership built on trust and a drive to think outside what is expected. That’s why we partner with only a handful of producers across the country. Agents and their insureds count on Skyward Specialty because we stand by their side no matter what. We take extra steps to educate them on ways to run safer and mitigate expensive losses.

Cutting edge independent contractor solutions

The trucking industry and the recent gig economy boom continue to make their mark on the independent contractor landscape. As these industries mature and more independent contractors enter the market, the insurance industry is challenged to create solutions to benefit both the overseeing company and the contractors. Skyward Specialty’s occupational accident (OccAcc) coverage is essential for independent contractors and should be a key component of any organization’s risk management program. Our deeply experienced OccAcc underwriters are dedicated to crafting custom solutions for independent contractors that address the most complex risks in this sector.
